JAMES DEVLIN Obituary

DEVLIN--James K. In Memory of James K. Devlin 2/17/38 to 8/23/12 We did not see you close your eyes, or hear your last faint sigh, We only heard that you were gone too late to say goodbye. Kurt and Trudy: Thank you for all your help; you were tough to live with and will be tough to live without. John and Val: You've ‘slipped the surly bonds of Schenectady'; rest easy, bro'. Kurt and Chris: You showed me the difference between liking what you do and being committed to what you do. That helped give me a different perspective on work... and life... and it is something that I think of often. Serena and Brian: Your guidance and support has forever made an imprint on our lives. Keith and Jeanne: You were the compass for many but left the map reading to the traveller. We will miss you.

Never met anyone like you. I enjoyed our friendship & working with you. I see the world differently since our adventure in life. Your booming voice is still in my ears. Few people saw the gentleness in your heart. Miss you.

Kurt is right-- you were never easy to live with, but you are more difficult to live without. You shaped my life powerfully. You gave me everything. Every happy memory since 1982.
